The Houston 1980 Astros got a magnificent effort from pitcher Ken Forsch, who kept Oakland 1990 hitters in check en route to a 3-1 Astros win at Astrodome. Houston 1980, at 56-32, sits in first place in the American League West Division.

Houston 1980 went up, 3-1, on Terry Puhl's 3rd home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Puhl hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Oakland 1990 pitcher Gene Nelson shaking his head.

In postgame remarks, Puhl applauded his team's "resolve."
